A-Rod and other musings...

-You would think, now that Alex Rodriguez has come out and admitted taking steroids that he would be well on the road to forgiveness. But, he's looking worse, as if it was possible. I watched the interview with Gammons and it was typical A-Rod: every answer was controlled, calculated and measured before being spoken. I don't believe that he didn't know what he was taking and I don't believe that he stopped after 2003. You felt pressured to live up to your contract in Texas? No one plays well in Texas. And you expect us to believe that New York is a breeze? He's under much more pressure now, so why would we think he's not on 'roids now? It's all about finding the next drug and staying ahead of the league's chemists. You can't expect us to believe you now if less than two years ago you were looking Katie Couric in the eye and lying to her. Dammit, Alex, if you can lie to Katie, you can lie to anyone.

-P.S. Alex, when you're in the middle of backtracking about all the bullshit you've said over the past couple of years that's not the best time to attempt a character assassination about the woman who co-wrote the article. You just said she's right. So, in terms of credibility it's her 1, you 0.

-I'm trying not to get too high and mighty with this A-Rod stuff, cause you know damn well that if the remaining 100+ names come out (and if I'm a player and I'm not one of those names I'm screaming they do come out so I'm not lumped in with the guilty), there will be at least a couple Red Sox on it.

-The list of players that it would shock me if they took steroids, by the way, is only about four deep: Jeter, Schilling, Eckstein, Maddux.

-Happiest guy that this story broke when it did? Michael Phelps. Now we don't have to listen to another week of bong jokes and debates about him being a role model.

-You know what girl I can't figure out? The girl from Big Bang Theory. Some episodes she's cute, some she's hot, others merely eh. It's frustrating. I think she falls somewhere in the "Above cute, but not so hot that you would feel intimidated trying to talk to her" range.

-By the way, President Obama - I voted for you cause I thought you were going to do a good job. You've got some trust here. You don't need to do a press conference everyday telling us what you're doing now. And you really don't need to take an hour of prime-time TV and then weigh in on Alex Rodriguez.

-When I was picking up blue G2, there are a number of flavors I expected it to be. Pomegranate was not in the Top 5.

-I'm putting my money on the English Bulldog for the Westminster Dog Show. I know he's a longshot, but one of these times a bulldog is going to pull off the upset.
